Small update:
Battery relocation wiring came in. 20' of black and 20' of red should be plenty to put the battery wherever. Same welding wire I'm running. $1.50 a foot
Okay finally got around to cleaning up the block:
Added some Gloss black engine enamel:
Wire brushed and W-40 the pistons
Scraped off the access shit off the block, and hand lapped it.
New Head-gasket on:
Welded small bung on head and the coolant pipe that goes around the block so we can delete coolant to the TB, IAC.
Scrapped off all the crap off the head and hand lapped the head:
On:
New oring for waterpump and assembled:
Hopefully tomorrow we can finish up the block with the rest of the orings and gaskets.
Swap brackets came in from Zerolift!
Also a buddy dropped off some pressure plate for the R154. will be sending one of these off to Southbend to be rebuilt and modified, also will pick up their Full-face kevlar endurance discs.
